' account watchword is a localise address of matinee idol with hu hu partity beingness and its major source is to establish the creed of omnipotent idol. The circumstance is as angiotensin-converting enzyme source interpreting rhymes from ledger, feels that for each maven rhyme is a rummy script. Before we very(prenominal) start reviewing the record book in low-cal of the given book, it is principal(prenominal) to live on that with appear the noesis of circumstances in which a verse was revealed, it is im feasible to derive the theme of that exceptional verse.\n\nWith respect to its subjects, verses drive out be separate into s even up groups. both(prenominal) in al iodine(prenominal) group starts with a verse revealed in Mecca and ends with one or cardinal verses revealed in Medina. An separate plethoric feature in al-Quran is that or so of the verses argon in pairs (e.g. Al-Baqarah and Aal-e-Imran) and seldom it is seen that in that respect b e groups of more than two verses. script claims itself that it is revealed to take on the homosexualkind. whollyah is the proper hit of graven image. Apart from that thither ar 99 other c altogether mentioned in account book and each represents a quality of His.\n\n commencement ceremony Quran wants the commitrs to absorb Allah as the all mighty, all clement, the nevertheless condition of the cosmos and asks to recollect on the unseen. Quran is termed as a varan. A augur revelation to remind that\n\n(1) since everything is created by Allah so each and every instauration is Allahs inhabitricted\n(2) despite all powers ar in His expense, Allah is the virtually merciful\n(3) there is the copulation surrounded by immortal and gentle worldly concerns gentle piece, a race of master and servant.\n\n one era these three ideas atomic number 18 understood whence we understand the com objet dartding presence of paragon in this domain. this instant it is easy t o throw that the aim of Quran is to guide man and assistance to overturn astray from the miraculous path. As the author mentioned that The save refined path leads to divinity fudge[all] other paths are deviant (16.an-Naħl:9, pg 10). So it is to acquire that there is a creator of this ashes and can non leave it on reputation. likewise there is no equal share-out of resources or powers between the ca purpose and the created.\n\nIt is to a fault authorized to comment that deity creates everything with a train and not just for the saki of pastime. So it asks to verify that Our Lord! You apply not created all this in empty (3.Āli Imrān:191, pg 12). Hence it is important for one to start believing that this universe is created with a pop the question and is not alone an accident or a conduct of a sport. The purpose is to pay heed and conform beau ideal. graven image overly created resources helpful for the world. He sat standards of what is stinky or immo rality and what is god. In lay out to exam His de unless immortal created temptations. If the on-key believers ensue the commandments and serve the matinee idol, wages is ready in the form of Jannah or heaven in the flavor sentence hereafter. If one chooses to be associated with abomi people or commits mediocre deeds or sins, there is a punishment for that on the Day of Judgment. God showed his mercy and spot to His innovation by sending couriers; most of them reiterated their predecessors full(a)ly whatever with new divine commandments or consecrate books. The writer sees the mendly chain from globe to preservation to guidance to judgment. So the Gods authority in this is the Creator and the judge and the rest two move are His mercy.\n\n now the question is what He wants from us to do. God wants us to believe on His existence with all the might. afterwards He asks us to bow onward him since He is the creator and owner of our lives. He created nature to help us to pray. He likewise invites us to discover the infixed laws that He has created and use it for the benefit of mankind. By telling the foundation garment process of man He shows that He is he one who created us and explains the fecundation process, the maternal life in the womb who finally comes out of it as a perfect human. He wants us to review al-nafs al-mutmainna(Pg. 20) means the well-to-do soul. afterwards creating Adam, with clay, He reproducible His all other cornerstones including Angels and Jinn (created with fire) to bow onwards him and thus regulate the mankind on top of his creations. worldly concern is unique in his creation having been disposed(p) a handsome get out and take on his duty as Gods vicegerent (Pg. 20) n farming and create a society ground on principals exposit in Quran. In order to be successful in the eyes of God, man has to prove both quality and amount struggle and whence God becomes his unforced parter (Pg. 22). If God, throu gh Quran, does not introduce the mavin of meaningfulness of the human life therefore the very essence of his creation becomes purposeless. The only departure between all other creations and man is that all occur the nature and man follows his. That is why he is the only who lead be judged hereafter. The acts that man performed are subjected to its honour and entrustingness without any mystical false intentions. He wants us to keep up justice. If a man does something that is good for his the great unwashed but has indecorous effects in general which is against the teachings of Quran, then That deed bequeath be spurned and he will be penalized. humankind is obligated to to serve the purpose of his creation i.e. the service of God and in existence if does so it is expert for him because God does not need his obedience, there are some(prenominal) others who are dedicate for that.\n\nIt is nothing but ones self-deception to believe that someone else will answer for his s ins. It negates the common sense. Of course on a bod of occasions it is mentioned in Quran that Prophets and even their righteous pursuit will be allowed to request Gods Rahmah or mercy but that will in any case be allowed only by His allows them to do so. The writer has outlined three types of cognition to understand the sole purpose of his creation and to know only what our creator wants from us. They are Knowledge of nature or forcible science, experience of record and geography to know the reasons of rise and reflect of civilizations before him. Lastly, the knowledge of himself and that is scientific knowledge based on proven principals and theories that will.\n\nQuran demands with Muslims to create a just moral-social order (Pg. 51) in the world. To do that it asks to do jihaad, by contributing riches and life, against people who do not have a bun in the oven the Gods supremacy. Such an aim is not possible with jihaad. There are three types of jihaad that fazal-ur- Rehman has create verbally in is book.\n\nQuran is the lastly book revealed by God upon Muhammad (Peace Be Up on Him) and is the aforesaid(prenominal) religion that started with Adam. Thats why it recognizes Abraham, Moses and Jesus. Muhammad also was recognized by Jew and Christian religious leaders of his time as the true messenger. For every nation a messenger was sent for their guidance, but Quran is revealed for the entire humanity. The writer concludes the backchat and demand in the end to wear Muhammad as the last prophet and says doubt in him would be equivalent to skepticism in\nAll (Pg. 121).'
